Please check your plotter's manual and/or
the Com settings on the plotter's control panel and ensure that they
match the settings in SignTools.

Serial Plotter Cable

Please ensure
that your Serial (Com) cable is a RS 232-C cable.
SignTools will not communicate with your plotter
with a different cable. If you are unsure if your cable is a RS
232-C
cable, contact your plotter distributor.

USB Connection

If you are connecting
your cutter via a USB connection you must install the USB driver
that came with your cutter first. This will create a an extra Com or
USB port that you can select in the SignTools "Device Setup" dialog
box.

To set this as a default page in
CorelDRAW click on the Tools menu and choose Options.
Click on the word Document on the left hand side
and ensure all of the options are ticked and click on the OK
button.

To cut any object in CorelDraw,
simply
place on the page in the bottom left corner. If you wish to cut
in a portrait fashion simply rotate your graphics.

Additional note

either
manually place object(s) in the bottom left of the CorelDRAW page

the way to the left.
